This post will tackle
Children of Fallen Gods
—and, whew, boy, it’s a long one. Either this book had a LOT of stuff happen in it, or I’m really bad at summarizing, or, uh, maybe both?

I hope it’s a helpful ride nonetheless, and I swear I tried to compress it as much as I could!


Again, I hope this goes without saying, but BIG FAT SPOILER WARNING if you have not read CoFG.
Seriously, DO NOT READ THIS POST if you haven’t, and just go read the book instead. You’ll like it. I promise.

Okay, let’s kick it off!



Tisaanah and Max: Zeryth’s War



Tisaanah, Max, Nura, Sammerin, and many Threllian refugees are on their way back to Ara, so Tisaanah can fulfill her Blood Pact and help fight the Orders’ war. When they reach Ara, they’re immediately apprehended by soldiers who are 
not
 Order or Crown soldiers. In the skirmish, they are rescued by Syrizen, who use their magic to transport them away from the Capital and to another familiar location: 
Korvius
. Max’s homeland – and the Farlione estate.

Zeryth has launched a coup. Sesri has been killed in an “accident”, and before her death, she signed a contract stating that the Arch Commandant of the Orders will assume the role of mon












The War of Lost Hearts by Carissa Broadbent is a trilogy which has been compared to
Throne of Glass
by Sarah J. Maas. Which is a series I absolutely loved, so I was a little nervous to read this series. Because either I was going to lose interest if it was too similar to
Throne of Glass
or would spend too much time comparing the two instead of enjoying it. But I thoroughly enjoyed the Nightborn Duet from Carissa Broadbent, so I decided to finally give this series as try. Instead of doing a review for each book I’m going to combine them in one. I’ll try to avoid sharing too many spoilers, but I will be discussing the full series.

These books are considered Epic Fantasy. And unlike
Throne of Glass
which was Young Adult, this series is New Adult so there is more ‘spice’ in the romantic subplot.

Since I have a feeling this review is going to get hella long, I’m going to include a Table of Contents in case you want to see a specific part. I will also be doing a comparison to
Throne of Glass
in the places where the plot or backstory line up.

Characters


Shattered Beginnings, Shattered Chains

A girl's world destroyed overnight

Tisaanah's life is shattered when slavers descend on her Nyzrenese village, killing or capturing her people. In a desperate bid to save her mother and friends, she offers herself to the slavers, leveraging her rare Valtain magic. Her mother's parting words—never apologize for surviving—become Tisaanah's mantra as she is sold into slavery in Threll. The trauma of her capture, the loss of her family, and the cold, transactional cruelty of her new world forge her into a survivor, determined to one day reclaim her freedom and her agency.

The Price of Freedom

Eight years of sacrifice for hope

Tisaanah endures years as a slave, dancing and wielding magic for the pleasure of her master, Esmaris. She hoards every coin, enduring humiliation and pain, until she finally amasses the impossible sum to buy her freedom. But Esmaris, feeling betrayed and possessive, refuses her purchase and instead beats her nearly to death. In a moment of desperate, uncontrolled magic, Tisaanah kills him and flees, aided by her friend Serel. The act brands her with guilt and fresh scars, but also with the knowledge that

Daughter of No Worlds



Dark magic, passionate romance, and a powerful heroine fighting for justice—fans of romantic fantasy will devour this tale from
New York Times
bestselling author Carissa Broadbent.



Her life for freedom. Her blood for love. Her soul for vengeance.


Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.

Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the world. To join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who despises the Orders. The Orders’ intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he wants to forget may be the key to her future… or the downfall of them both.

Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it means gambling in the Orders’ deadly games. Even if it means sacrificing her heart.
